Draco P.O.V
September 1st was finally here, meaning it was time to go back to Hogwarts. I honestly did not even want to go back, but I was forced too by my mother and the Dark Lord. I had to clean up and fix my father's mistakes, to get my family name back in good graces with the Dark Lord.
By doing what was expected of me with no excuses this year, seemed to help ease his anger towards us. Especially when I brought up that I had a plan to make a Fleet a Malfoy to continue our pure blood, blood line. He was rather intrigued by this by telling me...
'You will bring her to me by the Holiday break. We shall make her a Malfoy and much more. The girl holds much magical potential, especially with the name Fleet and the blood that runs through those veinsssss. Keep working on turning her to us, Draco. Whatever means necessary. She will help redeem your family, because if this does not happen...well I'm sure you can guess.'
King's Cross was busy, but not like it usually was as we watched muggles pass by barely noticing us. I said goodbye to my mother and promised to write to her when I could, she has been a mess since my father was sent to Azkaban at the beginning of summer.
I went through the wall between platform 9 and 10, to finally see the Hogwarts Express. Seeing the crowds of people, I felt some eyes fall upon me, as I put one hand in my pocket with my wand, twisting it.
Ignoring the eyes that were looking at me briefly, I looked around to see if I could find those long chocolate curls I lusted for.
I was hoping, well more like begging she was not with Potter or Diggory. They were last people I wanted to deal with right now, especially Potter. He was the reason for my father's imprisonment and causing so much drama in my life right now. I would probably try to attack him, even though drawing attention to me was the last thing I wanted.
Thats when i saw the black ribbon swaying, as it was holding on to half her pulled back hair, letting the long end pieces be free almost matching her length. I hated to admit it to myself, but she was the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on. I have never been so drawn to someone, even though i put her through hell the past few years. It was like I had changed everything i truly thought about her, she had become everything i needed right now in my life.
As I watched her smile and laugh with her friends, those green eyes attracted me to her something fierce. She wore a plaid skirt, that was a little tight as it hugged her hips exactly right. That was making me want to do the dirtiest things to her right now, until those thoughts faded when i saw who her 'friends' were.
Seriously Natiley?
I clenched my teeth, she was with Potter, Weasley and the Mud blood. I totally forgot she had become close with them, especially after last year.
What a joke. How could she even associate with them? She was way better then in every way possible. I needed to show her that and what she was capable of. As i looked at the clock, i saw the train would be boarding in 10 minutes, I did not feel like waiting till later to see her. Thinking of her and the moment we shared was the only thing keeping me going. The hell i was enduring at home was bareable with her in my mind.
I went over to a big pile of trunks and cages, that was forming a wall. It would hide us for the moment, so I pushed a trunk to the side and took out my wand.
I caught sight of her again, noticing she was holding a black cat in her arms, that is when I knew I had my chance. Potter, Granger and Weasley were getting on the train cart and leaving her last to follow.
Accio Black Cat.
I whispered, right as she was about to step on the train until her cat jumped out of her arms and darted right for my location.
The cat came around the corner, staring up at me. I leaned down to pet it when I heard her footsteps.
'Binx!'
I picked the cat up who was apparently named Binx, the cat began to purr as Natiley rounded the corner to see me.
'What are you playing at Malfoy?' I was taken back as she did not call me Draco this time. I said nothing at this and put the cat on a nearby trunk, where it laid down.
'Going back to our old ways already, Fleet? Did I not satisfy you enough? Oh, sorry apparently you don't remember everything.'
I rolled my eyes at her gaze but stepped forward as I put my hands in my pocket.
'Would you seriously shut up; you are being ridiculous. What do you want? You obviously summoned me for a reason.'
I stepped closer to her as our bodies were merely inches away. I could smell her scent of roses with a tinge of honey. It was euphoric to me as it drew me in closer to her, I spoke softer for her ears only.
'Hmph...summoned. I like the sound of that.'
'Don't.' She put her hand on my chest, but she did not try to push me away. I waited a moment as she looked up to me.
'Don't what?' I pulled my had out of my pocket and placed it on her chin, pulling it up to me.
'You don't want this? You can't honestly tell say that Diggory is better than me.'
She rolled her eyes, as she tried to pull away from me but I caught her by her white turtleneck. Once I let go of her collar, I slide my fingers over down the turtleneck low enough, to reveal the bruises that were turning a yellowish green.
I brushed the back of my hand with my Slytherin ring, against her skin feeling pleased as she formed goosebumps at the cold touch. That is when I bent down to the side of her head and kissed her neck, then biting it making her let out a soft gasp.
As she started to melt in my arms, I softly dragged my lips up her neck till mine almost met hers. Our lips were barley touching but before I knew it, she was throwing her hands around my neck and pulling me down to kiss her.
After a few seconds of being locked in passion, the train whistle blew, making us both break away from our lust-filled kiss like we had gotten in trouble.
I looked back to her, seeing she was touching her lips avoiding my eyes. Before I could say anything, she tried to walk away, but I grabbed her by the waist pulling her back towards me.
'You better still be meeting me tonight.' I said after catching my breath.
'Hmm...I think I'll stick with Cedric tonight.' She laughed at me, adjusting herself in my arms.
'Shut the hell up, he won't have whats mine.'
I reached down to grab her ass, making her jump, and then i leaned down to whisper in her ear.
'Because, this will be mine by any means necessary.'
Natiley P.O.V
Sitting in the train car with Ron, Hermione and Harry made you a little uneasy. They asked what happened to you and you told them that Binx saw a rat, taking off. At least that was partially true, just a little white lie, right?
Harry went on how to say how he believed that Draco Malfoy had become a Death Eater. I wanted to protest, but let it go. There was no way I could ever justify Draco to them.
Apparently, they saw him in Borgin and Burkes, with his mother and a few famous death eaters looking very suspicious. I did not doubt that that was the same day I ran into them. I wonder what they were really doing and if I was to ask him, would he tell me the truth? I bite my lip, gripping the potions book in my hand trying to pretend I was simply reading it and oblivious to what they were saying.
'I need to figure this out. ' Harry got up, he held his invisibility cloak.
'Have you gone mad? You are just going to sneak into the Slytherin cart? '
I slammed my book causing Ron to jolt up, he was half asleep. Harry paused and looked at me. 'Natiley, I must do this to see if I can catch him admitting anything. '
Harry took off out of the cart leaving us in silence, till Cedric showed up right at the prefect time. 'Where's Harry off too? ' He investigated the distance till Harry seemed to disappear.
'Uh...' Hermione looked to me trying to make an excuse. 'He just went to go talk too Luna about The Quibbler. You know, how obsessed her father is with him. He writes a lot about Harry. ' I blurted out with a smile.
'Oh, alright then. I wanted to talk to you. Don't worry, you two can stay. ' He looked to Ron and Hermione with a pleasantly smile. They both looked us with curious eyes. Hermione stole the potions book out of my grip and Ron leaned back to doze off again.
'I went looking for you earlier and noticed you were not in the Ravenclaw area, but I saw Cho. I told her everything, she was unhappy but understood our hands are tied. It helped another Ravenclaw pure blood pair were there, explaining they were arranged like us. How we do not have much of a choice... ' His gaze turned from me and then to the window.
I could feel Hermione's hand rest on my forearm and giving it a light squeeze as he had looked away. She let go once his view was on me again. Sighing, I leaned forward and protested once again with him.
'I told you I could fix this. I have a way out for us, please take it Cedric.' I was basically pleading at this point with him. I cannot even imagine how hard that was for him, he was in love with my best friend who I could not even face right now. He had to tell the love of his life, that he could not be with her. While I am over here fraternizing with the enemy behind everyone's back.
I'm such a piece of crap, I swear.
He sighed heavily running both his hands through his hair, 'Natiley, please stop with this nonsense. I told you it was completely out of the question. '
'Wait what? Natiley, how did you propose to fix this? ' Hermione chimed in, looking at us both. I dropped my head in my hands, rubbing my eyes and slowly bringing my head back up to face her. I did not even want to see Cedric right now; I was pissed he even brought this up.
'Well, another...pure blood boy wants to force my hand. I told Cedric to let this happened, so he and Cho could be together.' I told her, as her curious gaze went between the both of us, I knew she was waiting to ask who. I had to tell her the truth, as I saw Cedric ready to spit it out. We both said the name in unison;
'Draco Malfoy.'
Hermione looked horrified, 'As much as I don't want you to do this, I must admit that I am scared for you if you try to refuse him. Draco...seems to always get what he wants.'
There was a long silence between us expect for Ron's snores. We merely sat there the rest of the ride, saying nothing to one another.
Once we had arrived, Cedric said he would see me at dinner. He took off into the crowd of students before I could even say a word. We both knew the truth of Hermione's words; I had a sense that it honestly scared the shit out of him.
'Where the hell is Harry? Did he ever come back? ' Ron spoke up as the three us of looked at each other in shock. We totally spaced that Harry never returned. I knew this was my chance to meet Draco without a fake excuse and to make sure they did not hurt each other.
'I'll go look for him, you two go ahead okay? ' They looked to me and then to each other.
'Okay, be careful Natiley. ' Hermione eyed me curiously, this made my heart drop. I felt like she knew I was going to look for Harry, but she knew what my true intentions were.
Grabbing my stuff and saying my goodbyes, I walked all the way to the end cart that belonged to Slytherin. My heart was pounding out of my chest as I noticed that the blinds were shut on the cart door.
Draco P.O.V
'That's for my father. Enjoy your ride back to London. ' I spat, feeling the anger take over me as I threw the invisibility cloak back over Potter.
I stood up and straighten myself up, trying to get my composure as I heard the door open.
'Draco? '
Turning around I saw Natiley looking at me with a confused look, she did not seem to see Potter and I was grateful for that. At the moment I saw her, The Dark Lords words ran through my head. This was my chance to screw up her friendship with him. I knew they were close and this way my only way to ruin that. By ruining her friendship with him, would mean she would have no one else to turn too.
'Yes love. ' It honestly pained me to say that, but I needed to act the part at this moment. She came towards me, I dared not take a step back knowing I would be tripping over Potters leg.
'I'm here as you requested. ' She leaned on to one of the seats nonchalantly.
'You are right on time. Have you decided that you are ready to be a Malfoy? ' I gave her a smirk.
She looked away from me, biting her lip, and gripping the books in her arms. She let out a soft laugh.
'You are so fucking cocky, Malfoy. '
I walked over to her, looking down and grabbing the hand with the engagement ring on it and twisting the ring against her finger.
'That's Draco to you.'
'Is this it then? I just agree and its magically called off with the Cedric? ' She looked up to me, I could tell she was nervous.
'We have people at the ministry that will declare a change in martial status. With all the pure blood families trying to prove their worth, I'm sure they would not see an issue of the only Malfoy Heir demanding the hand of Natiley Fleet. They will send word to the Diggory's and to your parents, that your arranged marriage has been changed. Due to someone with a much longer pure blood line and non sympathizers to mud bloods, unlike the Diggory's. If it is a money issue, it will be handled. ' I said confidently.
'I...You...one arranged marriage to the next, it's not like I really have a choice do I?' I could see sadness wash over her, I started to feel some guilt with the situation I am putting her through.
I sighed, realizing how late it was getting.
'Lets get off the train? And see if their is a cart waiting for us.' I reached for her waist, pulling her to me for a quick kiss and placing my hand on her lower back as we walked off the train.
We both walked in silence as I thought of this being the start of our 6th year. I did not imagine having someone beside me to endure the hardships I, well now we were about to face. With that being said, I was starting to feel scared. As I was not sure how she was going to deal with the hell she was about to go through for becoming a Malfoy.
